Don Cheadle is the early frontrunner for this year's Oscar, and he leads a film that isn't too shabby either. A pretty good film, with an excellent leading performance.
Interesting story that really makes me want to learn more about 60s and 70s. Wonderfully acted by Don Cheadle and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Although it's somewhat hindered by it's conventional biopic framework (especially towards the end), Talk to Me is elevated by the brilliant performances of Don Cheadle and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Also, the 60s/70s vibe is great, and the era is very skillfully captured.
Don Cheadle was great. This is a old school comedy that was real. I LOL through out the whole movie. Why have they not given him a trophey yet? Chiwetel Ejiofor added a great performence on the serious side to lead a all star cast that made this one to watch.
Excellent biopic with two stellar performances by Chiwetel Ejiofor and Don Cheadle. These are a couple of my favorite actors, and it's great seeing them play off each other here, the more conservative Ejiofor perfectly complementing the more "street" Cheadle. Along the lines of "Good Morning, Vietnam" but a lot more raw, this shows the power that radio can have (for the good. Juxtapose this with another great Don Cheadle movie, "Hotel Rwanda", where the radio helped to incite genocide). And while this is a tale about how a man used his gift of "keeping it real" to transform his life from an ex-con to a powerful voice of the people, it's also a tale about friendship. Cheadle and Ejiofor both turn in Oscar-worthy performances as two men from the same side of the tracks and how they learned to accept who they were in their own unique ways. Excellent flick.
